Answer 2

People are more likely to learn and practice morality when it is taught to them with kindness.

Option (C)

Explanation:

• Thank You Ma'am is a short story by Langston Hughes in which young Roger, after having tried to snatch her wallet, finds himself in the hands of Ms. Luella Bates Washington Jones. The core concept of trust and compassion in the story is expressed by Luella's unorthodox response to Roger and the relationship between her.
• Through his depiction of Mrs. Jones ' reaction to the attempted theft of her purse, Hughes attempts to establish situational irony. Mrs. Jones responds a little bit harshly, kicks the boy named Roger and then picks him up by his shirt's front "until his teeth are shaken."
• So the reader assumes she's about to bring further punishment when she begins pulling her home with her, saying, "Sir, when I get through you you, you are going to remember Ms. Luella Bates Washington Jones."
• Without sounding as a challenge, the reader is not even sure how to interpret her statement "When Mrs Jones takes Roger home, I have the greatest mind to wash your face," but she does everything to show the boy he can trust her and showers him with kindness, care, and compassion
• She shows compassion to him by referring to his desire to steal anything he felt was important to him, blue suede shoes, reminding him that she too had to fight for young people and wanting something she could not get, or even doing something she couldn't confess to so that she could get them
• She shows compassion and caring by washing his face, combing his hair, giving  him food, and even gave him $10 to buy his blue suede shoes. .
